How about Paradise Theatre was your first album. You went to a summer "Speedway Jam" concert that featured, Journey, Styx,Donnie Iris AND Foreigner and thought you would absolutely die. If you ever spent money to see Corey Hart in concert. Remember the big oversized Forenza sweaters???? ↑

No my darling Jujubug you do NOT count. I graduated from High School in 1985. You were two years old and I doubt that you ever wore mall bangs, black stirrup pants and Madonna could be your mother... LOL!!! ↑
